The California School Dashboard for the 2018-2019 school year is live. The Dashboard is the visual representation of California's School Accountability plan and displays the performance of all schools and districts in the areas of accountability. The Dashboard is intended to help schools and districts identify strengths and areas for improvement. Check the dashboard results by clicking on California Dashboard. You can see the scores for how our students have done in English, Math, Chronic Absenteeism, Suspensions, and EL students. As educational leaders and staff we strive to improve the outcomes for all of our students.

Congratulations on the continuous progress and improvements of Skyridge students over the last two years.

The Dashboard is displayed using a color system. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, and Blue. It is a bit like a gas gauge. Red is almost empty and blue is full.

We have made steady progress thanks to our wonderful students, incredible parents working with us hand in hand, and highly effective staff working systematically, focused, and positively to give your sons and daughters a high quality education. We are always learning new strategies and working to improve our role as staff.

We want to celebrate this partnership and share the scores with you. We still have areas to work on but proudly share our many improvements.

We want to acknowledge our parents, PTC, and volunteers as you provide our students with opportunities that help them feel safe, and feel a great sense of belonging and loving care. You all are part of the village that helps to make our school a welcoming community. Thank you for supporting our students' attendance which is a critical part of their success.

A heartfelt thank you to all of you and appreciation for your continued support of Skyridge. Please share this great news.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Brown

PRINCIPAL'S WEEKLY MESSAGE

Dear Skyridge Families,

Today is the last day of school for distance learning. It has been an eventful year and thanks to you partnering with us we have made it through.

We wish you all a wonderful summer break and thank you for your cooperation and support while going through such unchartered territory.

Thank you to all of our students, parents, staff, and volunteers for their hard work and helping us, especially doing their very best for trimester three. We appreciate this so much.

We have all learned a lot and we will be ready for what comes next. Our plan is to start on August 12th unless we are getting some different information from our county or state.

We have been busy collecting your valuable feedback so we can be ready for teaching and learning using multiple pathways for the 2020-2021 school year. We treasure each of our Falcons and don't want to lose any of you.

We are all wishing and hoping for a regular start where we all come back to school, but that is not up to us. Going through a worldwide pandemic is not something that any of us have ever prepared for.

The health and safety of our students, parents, staff, and school is always the number one priority.

We leave you with a wonderful staff dance video and are looking forward to seeing you all back on August 12th.

Based on your annual earnings, you may be eligible to receive the Earned Income Tax Credit from the Federal Government (Federal EITC). The Federal EITC is a refundable federal income tax credit for low-income working individuals and families. The Federal EITC has no effect on certain welfare benefits. In most cases, Federal EITC payments will not be used to determine eligibility for Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income, food stamps, low-income housing, or most Temporary Assistance For Needy Families payments. Even if you do not owe federal taxes, you must file a federal tax return to receive the Federal EITC. Be sure to fill out the Federal EITC form in the Federal Income Tax Return Booklet. For information regarding your eligibility to receive the Federal EITC, including information on how to obtain the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Notice 797 or any other necessary forms and instructions, contact the IRS by calling 1-800-829-3676 or through its website at www.irs.gov.

You may also be eligible to receive the California Earned Income Tax Credit (California EITC) starting with the calendar year 2015 tax year. The California EITC is a refundable state income tax credit for low-income working individuals and families. The California EITC is treated in the same manner as the Federal EITC and generally will not be used to determine eligibility for welfare benefits under California law. To claim the California EITC, even if you do not owe California taxes, you must file a California income tax return and complete and attach the California EITC Form (FTB 3514). For information on the availability of the credit eligibility requirements and how to obtain the necessary California forms and get help filing, contact the Franchise Tax Board at 1-800-852-5711 or through its website at www.ftb.ca.gov.
